Editor Profile

Alan Yoshioka

Profile

I bring a strong interdisciplinary background to editing non-fiction, whether intended for academics or a general audience. A Certified Proofreader and Copy Editor, I’ve been freelance since 2003. Key editorial niches include medical research reports (I’ve handled dozens of systematic reviews and meta-analyses) and church-related materials. I’m conversant with quantitative and qualitative methods and have taught a seminar on scientific editing. I’m particularly adept at clarifying tables and figures. The author of a travel guide declares, “Alan’s masterful editing has brought order to my sprawling recollections.”
